So just something that I noticed as I am salivating over the new asus zephyrus laptop is that I have noticed 3 different looks to it with different ports in different places, and yes I know that this is a not yet released product but still witch one is it, whats the story here, is there more that one configuration?

 

The first Picture (0151) was taken from the asus product from page found here;

https://www.asus.com/Laptops/ROG-ZEPHYRUS-GX501VI/Features/

Observe the side vents and USB ports.

The next two (0152 and 0153) are from the asus product page gallery found here;

https://www.asus.com/Laptops/ROG-ZEPHYRUS-GX501VI/gallery/

Notice that the side vents are no longer there and that three of the four USB ports are on the left side with one on the right and with an SD card slot, also the power button is not in the same place (not shown in the other Pictures)

The last one (0154) was taken from the asus YouTube video of the product (as well as almost every, But not all, videos of the product)

 

Notice that the side vents are not there and that the ports are split with two USB ports on each side with the USB type C also on the right side not the left, and the SD card slot is also absent.

so I'm thinking that the first was never actually made and it ment to look cool, that and I've never seen a real one, as for the second and third I've seen both as real products and am wondering whats going on here, now I read that there will be a 1070 model but... just want to know what others thoughts are.
